D Correct answer
Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect: The Estimates Committee has 30 members from Lok Sabha only (not 20 from Lok Sabha and 10 from Rajya Sabha) - Rajya Sabha has NO representation in this committee. Statement 2 is incorrect: The Estimates Committee DOES suggest the form in which estimates shall be presented - this is one of its key functions, not the CAG's role. The CAG audits, the Estimates Committee recommends on estimate forms. Both statements are factually wrong.
